Ha ha. No. A Teaching Elder is another word for a pastor in the Presbyterian church.

Anyway, I am inclined to at least drop our part of the conversation as well. However, I will say that this is a conversation board. People share opinions and ideas. If your idea strikes some as off base, you likely will hear something about it. That doesn't make them closed minded any more than your original comments were closed minded. It's just opinion.

Anyway, best to you and your family. Sounds like most of them are doing pretty well from your comments.
